Mr Conteh

I think the debate on DUAL NATIONALITY has not been argued in a sensible manner. I seem to smell a dead rat here. In stead of focusing on the principles which we know about the likes of Amadou Scattred Janneh and Co, we have decided to use their alleged US nationality as a reason for their disqualification to hold public office.

Well, perhaps it would be right if I refer you to the Constitution of the Republic of The Gambia, 1997 (Amendment) Act, 2000.

Insertion of section 12A — Dual Citizenship
Insert, immediately after section 12, the following new section —“Dual citizenship 12A.
(1) A citizen of The Gambia who acquires the citizenship of another country may, he or she so desires, retain hii or her citizenship of The Gambia. This proviso under the Constitutional Amendment Act  legalises DUAL NATIONALITY in the Gambia.

Whilst Mr Darboe has made reference to the  1997Constitution, it must be brought to his attention that some amendements were made to this constitution in 2000.

Thanks

Sanusi
